Which Arsenal partnership is the most important?
Saliba and Gabriel have played together 134 times for Arsenal, winning on 90 occasions and losing just 23 matches in total.
During their four seasons playing alongside one another, they have continued to develop as a partnership and are now by far the best in Europe.
William Saliba wants to win titles with Gabriel Magalhaes
William Saliba has urged himself and Gabriel Magalhaes to win silverware at Arsenal and to at least have something tangible to show for their partnership.
Incredibly, the Arsenal pair are yet to win a single trophy playing alongside one another, but surely that could change this season.
Saliba says he is ‘tired’ of not winning trophies at Arsenal, but is adamant that it will change come the end of the season.
When asked whether he and Gabriel are the best defensive duo in world football, Saliba told CBS Sports: “For me, yes, we have the best partnership in the world…
“But we have to prove it with the title, because if we say we are the best and win nothing, it means nothing.
Imagine this: You can sign one of Gabriel Magalhaes or William Saliba to a lifetime Arsenal contract… Who are you picking?
“So we have to win titles, but at the end of the season, we can say we are the best partnership in the world.”
Currently, the Gunners are top of the Premier League and the Champions League, in the FA Cup fourth round, and have a 3-2 lead in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Everything points towards Gabriel and Saliba lifting silverware, but the pair must now go out and deliver for the Gunners.
William Saliba is ‘confident’ about Arsenal’s trophy chances
Saliba has also stated that he is ‘confident’ about Arsenal’s chances of finally ending their wait for silverware.
The previous years, we learned a lot because we were almost there for the last three years. But now this season we all feel different. The squad is ready. The squad is ready to compete for every competition,” said the French defender.
“Of course, we are confident. As I said, it’s easy to talk, but we know what we have to do on the pitch. Now we are good, but it’s not finished. There are five months left and we’ll give everything on the pitch to win every title.
